Cruachan - Viking Slayer Lyrics
I watch the sky turning blackAnd know the time is fast approachingMy clan they all look to meI turn away, I face the oceanIn the dark I see a fleet of long-ships on the horizonAgain the Vikings come, to this land they are a poisonArchers ready your bows, swordsmen ready your bladesGods be with us this night, as we stop this barbarian raidsTheir boats now pulled to shoreScrawny men pour forth from the hullTheir faces look ailing and drawnBut their minds are bent on the cullOn they come, these viking raiders, pale and greyWith withered bodies and swords to slayCharging forth, from filthy ships, towards our lineBut we are butchers and they are our swineBy ready men, they fast approach, the time is hereStand firm at your line and show to fearFrom the north, this army comes, to raid our landsBut instead tonight they will die by Gaelic handsI give the call to attack, and we charge towards the VikingsArrows scream over head, and begin this night of killingI watch as the armies collide, flesh and bone gets torn asunderSo many of my warriors die, as they stop viking plunderIn the distance I see, their leader so wretched and vileLeading his men with pride, I see his weakness and I smileCaught up in his stupor of greed, I slice his head from his neckHis cowardly men run away, victory is ours this day
